Christmas Holidays to
Be Spent in a Variety
of Ways by Faculty
The Christmas holidays are approach­ing
and most everyone is busy making
plans for this gay and joyous season.
Our own faculty members represent a
wide variety of v.:'aYs in which a holi­day
may be happily spent.
Dr. Hibbs plans to spend the holi­days
at home, probably going to Phila ­delphia
after Christmas to attend the
conventions of the American Sociolo­gical
SOciety and the American Associa­tion
of Schools of Social Work . .
Miss Brown is simply thrilled over
the idea of going home for the first
time in sixteen months. J ust travel­ling
to Mississippi is in itself enough
to make one happy, but add to that
friends, home, family and "recupera­tion!"
Evidently Doctor Fales does not need
any rest because she is planning a n ice
long automobile ride and before she
returns to Richmond she will have
stopped at New Haven, Philadelphia,
New York, and Boston. Do not be sur­prised
if on her return she will upset
some old theories which will probably
be aresult of attending the convention
of the Society for the Advancement of
Science. Dr. Fales also hopes to see
the planetarium-a feat resulting from
astronomical experimentation. Let us
pray fervently that she may not be
hampered by any snow -stsorms.
Dr. Johnson will spend Christmas
at home, but immediately after will
leave for Philadelphia where he will
attend the conventions of The Ameri­can
Sociological Society and The Ameri~
can Association of Schools of Social
Work. At these meetings he antici-

standing at Cochran
The high spot of the Art Students'
League's trip to Washington was the
visit to the Gari Melchers memorial
exhi'oit, which is described as the most
comprehensive "one-man" exhibit ever
held at the Cochran Art Gallery.
During his long life Mr. Melchers
painted a great variety of subjects in­cluding
nudes, clothed figures., land­s::
apes and religious su.'bjects, in a very
realistic manner. In the Last Supper
the Christ has a strong rather t han a
J::eautiful face, and many of the apos­tles
seem recognizable by the charac-tel'
in their faces. One subject which
he often painted was the interior of a
church filled with people; in The Ser­mon
he painted rapt a ttention and ut­ter
boredom on the faces of the \\'0-
men.
The chief characteristics of Gari
Melchers' work are the brilliance of
color and the dramatic quality of his
characterization. Even in his religious
COQUETTES AND DANDIES FIGURE
IN EARLY AMERICAN COMEDY
The Barnstormers plan to 'present
"Cont rast," the major performance of
their season, a t an early date in Jan­uary.
The play. a five -act comedy,
was written by an American playwright,
Royall Tyler. It was first produced at
the John Street Theatre, New York
City, in 1787, and has since enjoyed
several successful revivals. This play
has the significance of being the first to
introduce to the American stage the
blunt, shrewd New England farmer,
popularly called the "stage Yankee."
The theme is the contrast between t he
worth and naturalness of manner of
such characters as the outspoken Yan~

sophisticated "Maria," and the affecta ~
tion of foreign manners shown by the
couquettish "Charlotte" and the world­ly-

the color has a rich brilliance which
does not die when compared to his

he painted a Sailor with his Girl, a
Mother and Child, or a Christ each
figure possesses a definite character of
its own, each man, woman and child
is a living, thinking human being.
